search patterns by country

[jonra01]

I've noticed that whenever I get a visitor who comes from a real high numbered search result - something from a link that shows up at 170 or so in the serps - it's always from another country. I almost never get a US visitor from a link outside of the first 50. Most of them are from the first 10-20.

I've had visitors from India who found the link listed at #300. Are surfers in other countries more willing to dig for information? What's it all mean?

It could be a language thing. Most of those deep links are from non-english speaking countries.

I wonder if my countrymen are not patient enough to dig that deep? Then again, maybe they are just more sophisticated about search engines and get better results?

Could it be that the results are actually placed higher for searches from other countris depending on which Google datacenter is being used?

I don't think that's the case. What I'm talking about is if someone searches on 'free wallpapers' my site comes up #250 on google. The only visitors I get using that search term are non-US visitors. If you look at the referring link in statcounter the ones from google have a start= in the link. That's the number I'm talking about.

Oh, ok. I hadn't noticed such a detail, but never looked for it either.

Wallpapers are often associated with movies and the Indians are crazy about films. Bollywood makes more than double the number of films Hollywood makes per year.

I have had a couple go down that far on a movie type stuff. I have one page called downloads and the string "film downloads" comes up at about 300 million in Google but still I will get a hit occasionally.
